  1. New: The ParameterHandler class is now built on the + boost + property_tree library which provides a much better + foundation for extensions. In particular, the description of parameters + can now be exported in XML and JSON formats for processing with external + programs, for example graphical user interfaces. As a consequence of + the re-write, a bug in ParameterHandler::print_parameters_section + was fixed when using the LaTeX output format. +

  2. Fixed: The ParameterHandler::set functions allowed to set values that + did not satisfy the pattern given during declaration of the parameter. This + is now fixed: the functions now throw an exception. +
